Fences

Phoenix

Fences in a row
Fences in a row
Wired and protected in a row

If only
Your necessary silhouettes
Unknown, join the dissi-dissi-dissidents
Got carried away
Now hiding from their lies and discords
Once remembered now forgotten
Come roll the dice for me
Roll the dice for me

Hold on better undone
If really on your own
Thinking this is fun?
Feathers fallen from drapes
Fold her into pieces
Tied up and lace

Fences in a row
Fences in a row
Wired and protected in a row

Got carried away
Thought I would've let you know
Oh no, did you mess-mess-message?
I know you still
Would rather mess with me than get going
She's been building up a castle in L.A.
Roll the dice for me

Hold on better undone
If really on your own
Thinking this is fun?
Feathers fallen from drapes
Fold her into pieces
Tied up and lace

Fences in a row
Fences in a row
Wired and protected in a row

Fences in a row
Fences in a row
Wired and protected in a row

    cuz they wanted you to make a comment on it. "How can we get link9606 to comment on our song?" "I know, let's secretly have someone from the band go on and post the wrong lyrics." (ZELDA SUCKS)

    They assume people with IQs above rocks (4) can figure it out.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
